I bought 2 decks the other day and am so imperssed with them. Not only is a deck of these half the thickness of a regular deck of cards, they are very pliable. They don't even need to be preped with fanning powder. These are the best cards for manipulation I've ever touched. The only problem that I have is I don't like the back color/design. If you're serious about card manipulations, try these out.

Wayne, I agree, Nielson Manip cards are great! In addition to the features mentioned, they also have indexes in 4 corners making them great for both right and left handers and double fans. I wish these cards were poker size however. They are more like bridge size and a little weird to get used to after manipulating Poker size.

Nielson Manipulation Cards are the best manipulation cards I manipulated ever!Indexes in four corners are a must.I also once used Marvey's manipulation cards but I threw them away.I did not like them at all and it was hard to produce fans with them.

If everyone wants Nielsen poker sized cards they will came to market for sure. )

I use the Murphy's Trevor Duffy Manipulator cards. Have you tried them, and if so, what are the main differences? Mine have 4 index corners. They are fantastic.

I used to use Norm's deck but now prefer to use the http://www.manipulationcards.com deck! they are the best I have used and I have used most decks!

Steve, who mades such decks?

Thanks

I have both decks and the Nielson deck will eventually after many uses need fanning powder, but the Murphy deck needs no powder and I've been using it for more performances than the Nielson deck! I love the Murphy's plus it's a little bit cheaper at this web site:http://www.themagicwarehouse.com/

Just to point out, the murphy deck is made by the same company as the http://www.manipulationcards.com deck. this is the same company that makes the Phil deck etc.
I recomend these cards very highly.

I've been using the Nielson deck for many years. I like the spring back quality after back palming them...where as the Marvey's felt like paper! I also threw them away. Never tried the Murphy deck, but from I hear their slighly thinner than the Nielson deck.
Do they have the spring back quality? Please let me know, as I would like to try a deck.
Thanking you,
Gerard

Jeff,

I looked on the Magic Warehouse website and found Nielson and Duffy manipulation cards. It says the Duffy cards are imported from South Africa. Are these the same as the Murphey cards you mentioned?

Regan

These are all made (apart from Neilson's) by the protea card company in south Africa.
